new mixing desk
new mixing desk
Jul 05 2003 i got my new (to me) mixing desk the other day... its an allen & heath system 8. its a 16:8:2
i'm stoked on the 8 buses!.. it was designed for recording into an 8 track recorder (which is perfect as i have 8 inputs on my echo layla).

but!!!!!!!!! the idiot who packed it decided to put the huge rackmount powersupply in the case with it.. buncha shit got broken (one of the faders busted completely off).. so off to the repair shop..

also i don't think the VUs are working either! ARVHHHGHGH

ahhhh yes. audio works. He fixed a broken dat player of mine once. They're good. Right next door to Pacific Pro Audio. Head in there if you want to drool over some gear. They got some nice and way expensive stuff in there.

update from audio works:
bad power supply (The thing is huge.. like 3U sized beast)

he thinks all my problems stem from that.

wow - i used to have one of those babies! i bought it new in 1989 for $4300!!!! it was monster, but was very, very clean. no regrets!

well, ok, a little regret. when i decided to ditch all my hardware and go "soft", i traded it in at sam ash on 48th street. everybody was kinda gawking, like it was a museum piece, and they weren't even going to take itd because it was so "old school". but they said they'd give me 400 bucks, and i needed the space in my apartment, so i said "ok", feeling like i was making the biggest mistake. i mean, talk about depreciation!

so after all of their guff about how they'd probably never be able to get rid of it, i went back to the store to cash in my "credit", and the damn thing was gone! they sold it inside of 4 days.

damn, i loved that ol' thang. and it sure impressed the ladies.

enjoy it, mate! it's a classic!
